Contrary to news of Curriculum Vitae submission making rounds in Nigeria, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, on Monday in Abuja denied an online publication calling for submission of CVs to the ministry.
In a statement endorsed by the Deputy Director of Press in the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Samuel Olowookere, it was said that the attention of the minister had been drawn to the online publication requesting unemployed Nigerian youths to submit application for employment in the ministry.
“The general public is hereby advised to disregard this false directive as it did not emanate from the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
“In view of the apprehension the above false information has generated, it is pertinent to point out that the present administration is committed to the creation of decent employment opportunities for the teeming unemployed Nigerians.
“It has perfected plans for massive job creation through well thought out programmes such as Graduate Teachers Conversion Programme and Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS), among others.”
The statement noted that the general public would be informed in due course when any of these programmes/scheme would be rolled out.
